ICYMI: Rep. Ribble Stands up for Veterans Affected by Toxins at Ft. McClellan

Wanted to make sure you all saw this—Congressman Ribble was contacted by a northeast Wisconsin veteran who has had a lifetime of terrible health consequences from toxicity exposure while they served at Ft. McClellan. In response, Ribble cosponsored a bill to help our local veteran and the thousands who have suffered a similar fate.

So does Mr. Ribble feel left out of the Tomah-gate VA Scandal in Wisconsin? Is Senator Tammy Baldwin, Ron Johnson and Representative Ron Kind getting all the publicity?

If you were a fly on the wall in DC would it sound like this?

Quick, somebody find me a vet who has a health problem in Wisconsin. I don’t care if you have to go to Alabama to get me some good press.

For the low information person in Wisconsin, Fort McClellan is in the state of Alabama.

The media, even from Wisconsin are trying to spin stories about the Governor who might be running for President.

Scott Walker likes to say he’s the most scrutinized elected official in the country. Part of that is the 13 campaigns he’s run in the past 25 years. Another part is his role as Public Enemy No. 1 for organized labor nationwide after Walker decimated public employee unions in Wisconsin through collective bargaining changes. That effort, and the unsuccessful recall election that resulted, turned Walker into a conservative hero across the United States and has, more recently, helped to catapult him to the top tier of GOP presidential contenders.

But a large part of the scrutiny focused on Walker is peculiar to the “John Doe” investigation law and the two ever-expanding investigations covering his time as Milwaukee County executive, his gubernatorial campaigns and the conservative groups that went to bat for him as a series of recall campaigns were initiated over the union fight. They have produced a treasure trove of records for opponents and the media to pick over as they dive deeper into Walker’s background.

We have to wonder if the writer of this story is the same JR Ross that speaks to Jay Weber at AM 1130 WISN radio in Milwaukee once every week? We thought Mr Ross was a straight shooter? Obviously he is auditioning for a job at the Post in DC. or the Times in New York.

We have a tip for JR Ross and the media. We herd rumors that Scott Walker back in 2009 didn’t come to a complete stop at a stop sign on his Harley motorcycle close to his home in Wauwatosa.

Another rumor in the early 2000’s, when handing out Halloween candy to children, he accidentally gave a couple children two pieces of candy instead of one. The nerve of that Scott Walker!

We think Scott Walker should get these rumors out there before the media reports them, Stop lights, candy, what next!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually he should start running ads, him in his boy scout uniform becoming an Eagle Scout. That evil Scott Walker, Eagle Scout!

Jay Weber, will you ask JR about this hit piece?

Pssst, don’t tell anyone, the above two rumors were made up to show the absurdity of the media spin against Scott Walker. Don’t tell the media!

We see this story about several drivers that did not have a chance to qualify for the 56th Annual Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Seems some of the drivers were playing close with their car setup and did not get through a second inspection before qualifying.

Playing close means trying to get away with something that other drivers would not do.

HAMPTON, Ga. -- Former Sprint Cup champions Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth were among the 13 drivers who did not get a chance to post qualifying times Friday after their cars didn't get through inspection in time at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

As several teams had problems in the tech area, reportedly in the rear camber area, and had to go through inspection a second time, NASCAR delayed the start of qualifying for 15 minutes. But that wasn't enough as the 15-minute first round was completed before 13 cars could get through and then make a qualifying lap.

"Their job is to push it to that very limit," Buck said. "Our job is to treat everybody fairly and give everybody an opportunity to come through that inspection room. But their responsibility is to come through there right but to the limit. I think that's what you saw today, was everybody pushing the limits."

It seems she finally had something to say, didn’t say much to the media about the VA scandal in Tomah Wisconsin, so they say she broke her silence.

WASHINGTON - Sen. Tammy Baldwin said Wednesday she is conducting a comprehensive review of how her office handled a critical inspection report questioning the prescribing of opiates to veterans at the Tomah Veterans Affairs Medical Center and subsequent pleas from a whistleblower that she take action.

"I am in a very detailed and careful fashion, comprehensive fashion, seeking to understand everything that happened in my office in terms of the handling of a whistleblower case," the Madison Democrat said. "And I will have lots more to say when we come to the end of that process."

Baldwin did not break her silence. She had to say something to get the media off her back.

Notice the words she chose, “very detailed and careful fashion, comprehensive fashion, seeking to understand everything that happened in my office”, what exactly does that mean? So she will have more to say when that is completed really means she will drag this out in hopes of the media and the people of Wisconsin forgetting about Tomah-gate.

Tomah-gate goes forward, with or without Tammy Baldwain breaking her silence.

Scott Walker hit all the right notes when he took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday to address a standing-room-only crowd — even gamely handling a heckler.

Walker was talking up Republicans’ push to pass a right-to-work law in Wisconsin, a measure to weaken labor unions, when a heckler stood up and began shouting in the packed ballroom. What he said wasn’t clear, but Walker handled it like a pro: He quipped, “Apparently the protesters come [here] from Wisconsin as well.”

Before Walker wrapped up, the crowd briefly erupted into a chant of “run, Scott, run” when talk on stage turned to 2016. “I’ve run three time in the last four years, so I’m getting pretty used to it,” he said.

Richmond's spring NASCAR Sprint Cup race will now be broadcast on Fox, the network announced Wednesday afternoon.
The April 25 running of the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway will begin at 7 p.m. It was originally scheduled to be shown on Fox Sports 1, but a potential conflict with another live event earlier that night prompted the network to change.
